Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
They emailed me a few weeks after applying and asked for a phone interview. The interview was with a senior scientist there. They mentioned that it was important to have experience in working in large group settings. I had plenty of prior research experience in high school and college so that probably helped with the interview. The scientist went over general information on resume and behavioral questions. It was very laid back.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Interviewed with 6 potential co-workers, 1 supervisor, and Director of group. Most of the questions revolved around my resume and experiences. I studied a lot about the company but received no questions regarding the same. Everyone was professional and pleasant; offices were of a typical corporate cubicle type environment. Did not hear back from anyone for a view days post-interview so email HR recruiter, who responded that he did not know anything new. Didn't hear back for another week so called/emailed/called again and finally spoke to the recruiter again. Informed I did not get the position.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
After approximately three to six weeks after applying for the position. I received a call from HR, informing me that Amgen would like to schedule an interview, the HR person I spoke with was not actually the individual that I set up a time with but rather they informed me that the hiring manager on location would be getting in contact with me shortly. A few days later the hiring manger called and a date was set for the interview, I seem to recall it being approximately a week later. The actual interview only lasted an hour and I was interviewed by a panel of various managers and other positions with in manufacturing. As of today I have not heard back, however if I do, I shall update this posting at that time.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 weeks)
First it was a phone interview consisting of brief conversation about myself and about the position. Called in for in-person interviews which consisted of four 45-minute interviews with four different employees. The questions weren't overly rigorous and each interviewer was extremely friendly. Amgen has a relaxed culture and yet it is full of some of the most brilliant people in the industry. I was contacted 1-2 weeks after and offered the position.

Interviewed May 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Just asked basic behavioral questions, and talked about my personal interests and what I would like to pursue. It was different because engineers were conducting the behavioral interview and not HR people. Took a long time to get back to everyone than they said they would

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 weeks)
First round was at school, both interviewers were very nice. 1 hour long split into 2 sections: behavioral and technical. Behavioral part emphasized on why biotech and your interest for it. Technical part was very straight forward, asked questions about financial statements, NPV, etc. 2nd round was on site, consisted of 5 interviews back to back with people who asked almost the same questions. The interviewers looked mad and were not very friendly.

Interviewed May 2011 in Juncos, PR (took 5 days)
I received a call from Amgen HR to set the day for the interview (which was set for the next day). The manager called about 20 minutes late but was nice enough to explain that there were some difficulties in the plan and apologized for the delay. He asked very basic questions about the position but unfortunately there were some aspects that I had never worked with. I can tell he sounded a little disappointed from my response of lack of experience in that particular field.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Thousand Oaks, CA (took a day)
I obtained a phone interview through a personal contact. The process was very rapid. I received a phone call directly from the hiring manager and set up a phone interview for the next day. My personal contact also called me, but we were unable to converse before the interview due to the fact that it was Mother's Day and I already had prior commitments.
The process was the most unprofessional that I've experienced thus far. I was not told what position I was interviewing for beforehand. The interviewer spoke rapidly despite a thick accent, forcing me to repeatedly ask for clarification. The interviewer also called an hour late for our interview with no apologies and was constantly shuffling papers and doing "other things" in the background throughout the course of the interview.
